Dettol Touch of Foam {product review}

Product Talk by Nuffnang

I love to try new products, don't you? If you've ever read my blog before, you'd know that I like to blog about lots of different things....but I'll always give a true testimony and I don't get paid to review anything (even if I were to get paid, my opinions will always be my own) and sometimes I get sent things to try.

Today I'm reviewing Dettol Touch of Foam hand wash.


As a Mum to 3 boys and a Make-Up Artist, I wash my hands A LOT! I was going to keep a tally of how many times I wash my hands in a day, but I'm not sure if I really want to know....somethings are better left alone. I'm sure it's at least 20 times....how do you think you'd score?

The problem for me (and I'm sure I'm not alone) is that if I want clean hands, I also end up with dry crepey hands. So every time I wash them, I'd have to use a hand creme (if I have time AND if I remember)..which wasn't very often. 

Enter the hero to my tale...... 

New Dettol Touch of Foam, the easiest way to steal a moment of softness in your busy day

The Foaming Formula expands easily to remove dirt all over, leaving your hands feeling soft and comfortable after every wash

Unlike ordinary hand wash, with its dual effect formula:

1. The creamy foam is enriched with micro-bubbles that deliver moisture to your skin. I've been using the Rose & Cherry in Bloom version for about a week and my hands feel soft and moisturised. I like that yummy smelling foam feels creamy and non drying on my hands. I don't even feel the need to use a hand cream afterwards...bonus for me!!!

2. Kills 99.9% of germs

The added bonus for me is that the novelty of the pump turning liquid into foam has actually encouraged my boys to wash their hands more often. I tend to nag about that, but since having the Dettol Touch of Foam in the bathroom, I've been nag free (about hand washing anyway ;) 

Which is why I'll be repurchasing this product.


The New Dettol Touch of Foam Wash comes in three unique fragrances, Jasmine & Almond Dream, Rose & Cherry in Bloom and Wild Berry Bliss
• All variants are available in a convenient 250mL pump and a value 500mL refill

See you soon.

Getting fit and fabulous at the gym...it's not scary at all.

So, I joined the gym.

And as I write this blog post, most of me is aching....but in a good way.

 Yesterday I had my first PT session with Graham at Genesis in Wantirna.

This is the first time I've been a member of a gym and although I was looking forward to it, I was also freaking out a little....

OK, a lot.  

You see, I tend to worry about things, silly little things like making a total idiot out of myself. 

But everyone was very nice and friendly (must be those endorphins) or just the fact that they were nice and professional and didn't make me feel like I shouldn't be there.

You'll be happy to know that I didn't break or damage anything...did I tell you clumsy is my middle name?

I have a 12 month membership and I'll be blogging about my experience on a regular basis here on the blog. 

I was looking at the Genesis website and the classes on offer are impressive...I hope to try them all (except the kids class....which the pickles want to go to) 

I hope you drop by again for an update or to see if I fall flat on my face...photos next week....lol

If your thinking about joining the gym and want to give it a try for FREE, go here

See you soon

I will not be responsible for any nightmares you may have over any scary photos of me working out....you have been warned. x Marnie

Photos for Etsy (maybe) and new things

Just a quick post today. I've been playing around with photos on the computer and was toying with the idea of an Etsy shop. 

Would love some feedback. This is the shabby style I've been playing with using flowers from our garden.

What do you think?

If you have any ideas or suggestions, I'd love to hear them. 

This is a new thing for me that I've wanted to do for ages.
I'm on a roll with new things lately...so I thought why not?

Speaking of new things, I'll be back later (much later) tonight with my newest change that has left me aching today.
see you soon.

Low Fat Chicken Nuggets

A great one for the whole family. It tastes like the naughty version but without all of the oil and fat.

And, it's REAL chicken!!

 

You'll need:
Skinless chicken breast. In fact, this crumbing method works with any meat you might light to crumb...even drumsticks with the skin removed, but quite frankly they're a pain in the backside to remove the skin, so why bother, right? Just use the breast...OK?

Low fat, plain Greek Yoghurt.
Wholegrain breadcrumbs
Plain flour.
Seasonings: crushed garlic, oregano, salt & pepper, dry sachet of tomato soup etc

To make:
Cut the chicken into nugget sized pieces.
Toss lightly in flour and shake off excess.
Dip into yoghurt.
Roll into breadcrumbs that have been mixed with seasonings.

Place nuggets onto a baking sheet that has been lined with baking paper. 
You can spray lightly with a cooking oil if you like. I don't bother.
Bake in a hot oven (about 200C) for about 15 minutes or until done. (all ovens vary and it will depend on how big you cut the nuggets).

Enjoy.

Greek Lamb Roast

Another favourite, following a traditional Greek recipe from Mr3P's. 

Simple and delicious.

There is no danger of vampires invading our abode.

You'll need

A piece of lamb suitable for roasting. I used a leg.

Dried Oregano (Greek oregano if you can get it..it is much stronger that the supermarket variety). In Melbourne you can pick it up from good delicatessens, I usually get mine from one in Oakleigh. I've just run out, so I'm planning a little shopping trip there (or Brunswick) very soon and I'm sure I'll be blogging/instagramming it. BTW, I've finally got on the instagram bandwagon and I LOVE it. 

Fresh Garlic Cloves

Good quality, extra virgin olive oil.

Lemon juice.

Salt & pepper

Place your lamb in a roasting pan (or slow cooker)

Carefully "stab" the meat here and there and stuff the holes with pieces of fresh garlic.

 Drizzle the oil over the lamb and squeeze the lemon juice over the top, then sprinkle with oregano, salt and pepper.
Add a cup or two of water to the bottom of the pan to stop the lamb from drying out while it's cooking.
Seal tightly with foil, or cover with the roasting pan lid.

Now cook, slowly (about 160C) for about 5 hours. Just check from time to time that there is still a little water in the pan. In the last 45 minute of cooking, you can add potatoes to the pan. If your on a low carb eating plan, you might want to skip the taters and serve with veggies and salad and maybe some low fat tzatziki (recipe here).

 This roast (above) was cooked for only about 3 1/2 hours as I wanted it to "carve" instead of falling completely off the bone. And the fact that I forgot to start the roast earlier..lol.

It was still delish.

we used the leftovers the next day to make lamb and salad wraps.

Do you have a "go to" roast in your little handbag of recipes?

Let me know in the comments.

I didn't blog most of the week as I've been sick (I think I had man flu) so I feel I have some catching up to do. 

More recipes to come over the weekend.
